The mechanics of muzzleloading the efficiency of Centerfire smokeless shooting combined together,, I don't care so much myself about smoke or no smoke I love shooting smokeless ,,quite honestly it's just a lot less hassle and the economics of smokeless shooting has become a lot more important to me being retired. As I think about it though it may be something a little bit deeper within my own personality I love to learn new things and especially out of the box, things that haven't been done ,,things that have been done but not fully completely explored,, to me smokeless shooting appeals a little bit too this,, we both pour powder down a barrel we both take a rod and seat the bullet on top of the powder, one method requires much different treatment of the firearm cleaning regiments Etc the other method allows me to ease of a Centerfire rifle in reference to those cleaning methods, the appeal of being able to shoot a smokeless gun 60 or 70 times without cleaning doesn't necessarily mean much to me ,and then again there's times when it's nice to be able to shoot as many times as I want and not have to include a complete cleaning regiment at the end of it,, I often read so many comments about how wonderful it is to clean a rifle they're often presented in a way that if you don't clean the way the writer does you're somehow less of a Muzzleloader I don't hear those type of comments from smokeless shooters. If any of you have purchased used smokeless guns please tell me if any one of them has a ruined or shot out Barrel,, if anyone has purchased a used black powder Muzzleloader only to find that it has some serious Barrel issues,,. And one other thing and it is the main thing my smokeless guns exhibit phenomenal accuracy I can come close with black horn but I cannot match that accuracy there may be one particular bullet with the Black Horn load that is just as accurate but across the board many rifles,, smokeless hands down is more accurate.
